Property for Taxation.

Mr. Joseph b. Clyde, the county
auditor, has received the following
circular from Comptroller General
Stoney, which will be of general in
terest to tho taxpayers of Pickens
County:
During the recent session of the
General Assembly it was openly
charged that at the last period of list
ing property for taxation only Mree
auditors i'll tie State required re-
turn Of the cotton held Iy farmers
and others on the lSt Of january. If
this charge is true, those auditors to
whom it applies clearly failed to cnr.
ry out the proyisons Of the law. which
requires personal property of every
descriptionto to b"returned for taxation.
There is no more reason why cotton
OF other crops should be omitted from
the returns, than that horses, cattle
or other items of property should be,
and the law does not exempt the one
any more than the other.
"That there may be no further
misunderstanding OF this matter, aud
itors are instructed that it is their
duty, and they are required to list for
taxation all personal property owned
or controlled on the 1st day of Janu-
ary, this is to be done whether the
party owning or controlling the same
owes II debt or not.
/
"A8 the right of q party torcduce
theomountof his return by the amount
OF his debts does not seem to be clear.
~ understood, auditors are further
instructed that under the head of
''crcdits" areincludcd all 'Icgal debts,
claims or demands" in favor Of the
! party making the return, whether
such demand be payable in money,
labor or ether valuable thing. iron,
%"rh credit, and from ,'othi,tg else,
may bc deducted the legal debts,
claims or demnds $t,,iing against
III" party. If there are no debts in
his favor The debts against him can
not he considered, and M 10 ease is
it permissible to deduct any debt,
claim or demand for the value Of re,il
estate or t01'gidIc 1'Gr$oh"l property. y
The ollie of the couuty auditor will
be open from january 1st to Zebra
airy 10th to receive returns.

The Northwest seems to have had
more than it's share of railroad ucci-
dents last week. In collision near
1ifin, Ohio, about twenty persons lost
their lives. The wreck took fire and
burned many of the imprisoned pas
sengors whose names were not learn
ed. The disaster occurred at 2 o'clock
in the morning, and will be put down
in history as rival of the Ashtabula
horror of the winter of 1877.

Our neighbor, the Anderson Jour

and well deserves a continuance Of
that very liberal patronage which has
enabled it to make such great prog

Todd, has made wonderful rcsolu-
ton for the New Year. He will not
officially "rejoice or regret" at any
thing. It will require unusual effort
for an unmarried man to stick to that.

a POLITICAL BLUNDER.

Mr.. BlaIne's European Tour and Return
Arranged Upon the Superstition That He
Is a Great Man.
There is a measure of method in the
arrangements for Mr.. Blaine's En-
ropean tour that challenges admira-
ton. The fact that it is to be to some
extent an imitation of the Grant trip
of eight years ago in no wise detracts
from its value rs an electioneering
scheme. though the signal failure of
the third term enterprise suggests q
doubt as to the availability of foreign
excursions with pyrotechnic accom-
paniments as medium of wheedling
American politicians into questionable
movements.
According to current rumors Senator
Hale will be the companion of the tat
tOOed historian, and he will no doubt
serve as sort of advance agent or
business manager of the enterprise.
They will depar. some time during the
coming fall and travel through The va
rious interesting sections of continental
Europe and thence through Japan and
China, timing the return so as to ar
rive in San Francisco just about the
time the Republican National conven-
ton assemblies. The only departure
from the Grant programme is in the
time of arriving home. 1t is generally
admitted that Grant got back too soon.
In other words, that the period be-
tween the arrival at the Golden Gate
and the call of the roll for balloting in
the convention afforded time for re-
action in public sentiment.
The managers of the Blaine hippo
drOme propose to profit by the expert
ence of the third-termers. But they
miscalculate the effects of the tour I'M
less all signs fail. The Grant trip was
attended by series of ovations that
electrified the world, and when the
party arrived on the return public OK
element had been worked up to high
pitch. The reaction was less the re-
suit of time than it was the impossible
ity of maintaining the high strain
which had been reached. 1t is not
likely at Blaine's tour will be attend
ed with such demonstrat tons, and
when he returns it will be necessary to
create the enthusiasm that is expected
to boom him through the convention,
and that will take time. 1t would
seem. therefore. that the Blaine man

Blaine and favoring John Sherman FOL
the Presidency in 1888. But the
wording of the New York iri5uae's
denial precludes its being interpreted
to cover the accusation of having
written such a letter to Mr.. Smith.
These are it's words: 1.-THE editor
of the Tribune knows of no such
letter, and the man who is
said to have-received it has already
announced that he never got any such
letter. The Tribune expects to sup
port the nominee of the National con-
vention." This is simply reiteration
of the denial of the first charge. 1t
does not apply to both MIR. Smith and
Mr. Halstead. but to the latter, who
alone is the man who has announced
that he never got the letter.
But the second sentence contains the
more important part of the statement.
1t virtually admits the gist of the al
legged letter that the nomination of
Blaine is not the sine qua non. This
time three years ago Mr.. Reid would
not tolerate any other possibility but
the nomination of Blaine. But now
that his wife has been mustered in
the daughters-in-law of Ohio
his own Ohio instinct draws him
toward John Sherman of Mansfield, ..
No wonder James G. Blaine stops
over in Chicago to tone up his system
with hypo-phosphates.- Chicago NeWs.
